Excerpt from Music Club Programs From All Nations, Giving an Historic Outline of Each National School of Music: With Questions for Study, and a Series of Programs for the Use of Clubs and Other Organizations
IN the dark ages music flourished but little in Germany; yet in the time of Charlemagne the art received royal patronage, and the Christian chants must have been heard among the savage races that he baptized by the might of his sword. At a later time, we find the monk, Franco of Cologne, inventing measured notation, possibly in Germany; but the first popular impetus given to music came from the Minnesingers.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book charts the history of classical German music, beginning with minnesingers, tracing the rise of opera from its humble beginnings in Hamburg, and continuing across centuries to examine the genius of Wagner. The author expertly interweaves the historical and thematic strands in his exploration of German music, from the simplicity of early contrapuntal style to the harmonic innovations and depth of Romantic composers. He analyzes the work of Bach, Handel, and Beethoven, highlighting their profound intellectualism and emotional expression, and examines the work of Schumann and Brahms as exponents of the Romantic movement. The book concludes with the revolutionary ideas of Wagner, whose theories on music drama and use of leitmotifs shaped the course of Western classical music. This book is an indispensable guide to understanding the depth and beauty of German classical music, and will be of interest to students, performers, and all those who appreciate the transformative power of music.
